[Docket No. CP00-419-000]


Texas-Ohio Pipeline, Inc.; Notice of Application

August 2, 2000.
    Take notice that on July 27, 2000, Texas-Ohio Pipeline, Inc. 
(Texas-Ohio), 1331 Seventeenth Street, Suite 601, Denver Colorado 
80202, filed in Docket No. CP00-419-000 an application pursuant to 
Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to 
abandon the operation of a 980 horsepower, skid-mounted leased 
compressor unit, all as more fully set forth in the application on file 
with the Commission and open to public inspection. This filing may be 
viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/htm (call 202-208-
2222 for assistance).
    Texas-Ohio states that it is currently paying $10,547 in compressor 
rental costs, Texas-Ohio also states that it has no firm customers, has 
received no requests for service since the last quarter of 1997, and, 
because of new pipeline facilities constructed by another interstate 
pipeline company, it is highly unlikely that a need for the compressor 
will exist at any time in the foreseeable future. Texas-Ohio indicates 
that the abandonment of the compressor is the first step in the process 
of Texas-Ohio abandoning all of its facilities and services and ceasing 
to operate as a natural gas company.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to James 
D. Albright, Associate General Counsel of New Century Services, Inc., 
at (303) 294-2753.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before August 14, 2000, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., 
Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene or a protest in accordance 
with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the Commission 
will be considered by it in determining the appropriate action to be 
taken but will not serve to make the protestants parties to the 
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party to a proceeding or to 
participate as a party in any hearing therein must file a motion to 
intervene in accordance with the Commission's Rules.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and 
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be 
held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on 
this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time 
required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter 
finds that a grant of the certificate is required by the public 
convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely 
filed, or if the Commission on its own motion believes that a formal 
hearing is required, further notice of such hearing will be duly given.
    Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for Texas-Ohio to appear or be represented at 
the hearing.

David P. Boerger,
Secretary.
